Warnings

Niacin may cause temporary flushing, itching, and tingling, feelings of warmth and headache, particularly when beginning, increasing amount or changing brand of niacin. These effects seldom require discontinuing niacin use. Skin rash, upset stomach, and low blood pressure when standing are less common symptoms; if they persist, contact a physician.

Slo-Niacin Tablets should not be used by persons with a known sensitivity or allergy to niacin. Persons with heart disease, particularly those who have recurrent chest pain (angia) or who recently suffered a heart attack, should take niacin only under the supervision of a physician. Persons taking high blood pressure or cholesterol lowering drugs should contact a physician before taking niacin because of possible interactions. Do no take niacin unless recommended by and taken under the supervision of a physician if you have any of the following conditions: gallbladder disease, gout, arterial bleeding, glaucoma, diabetes, impaired liver function, peptic ulcer, pregnancy or lactating women. Increased uric acid and glucose levels and abnormal liver function tests have been reported in persons taking daily doses of 500 mg or more of niacin.

Discontinue use and consult a physician immediately if any of the following symptoms occur: persistent flu-like symptoms (nausea, vomiting, a general "not well" feeling); loss of appetite; a decrease in urine output associated with dark-colored urine; muscle discomfort such as tender, swollen muscles or muscle weakness; irregular heartbeat; or cloudy or blurry vision.

When my health insurance would no longer pay for my Lipitor, I decided to check out natural supplements. I did my homework and heard alot of good things about Slo Niacin.

Early this week I went back to my doctor, told him about the Slo Niacin. He ordered bloodwork and when the results came back, my cholestrol level had dropped from 250 to 175.

At first I experienced 4 flushing reactions within a 4 week period. I then started taking Slo Niacin in the evening before bed and I haven't had another reaction since.

This is a great product and I am excited to share the news of this supplement with all my friends and co-workers.

I took this in place of my other Niacin because it said Slo-release. What a mistake! About 1 hour after taking one, I started feeling tingly and my ears and scalp started hurting - actually hurting - a burning hurt. My hubby looked at me and said, "wow." I looked in the mirror. I was totally red - head, neck, chest; like I had severe sunburn. I almost glowed red. My scalp and ears hurt. My hubby said he stopped taking this because he had the same reaction. He got yelled at for not throwing it away! I've taken 3 other types of Niacin and NONE of them, hurt nor flushed me as badly.

My Dr sugested I use this product to reduce cholesterol because I can't tolerate statin drugs. Well I guess I don't tolerate Niancin either. I bought the slo release because I had heard it can cause you to flush like you are having a hot flash. I would take it at bedtime so if I had flash or headache from it I could just sleep it out. I took it for about 10 days with absolutley no side effects. Then last night I took it and went to bed and after about two hours I sat bolt upright out of a dead sleep because I felt like I was on fire. This was no hot flash. I felt like I was burning all over my body from the inside out. I got up and went outside to cool off and it didn't help at all. I drank water and that didn't help. My skin felt dry and I felt like I was going to burst into flames. I thought I was dying. I woke up my husband and told him something is wrong. My heart was racing and I was getting clamy and I felt like I was going to pass out. I really thought I might die....after about 20 min it started to susside slightly and then the itching began. Intense itiching mostly of my forearms. Up until that time I didn't even suspect the Niacin because it was supposed to be slo release and I had been taking it for 10 days with no reaction. When I started itching I remembered that was one of the side effects and combine that with the burning and I knew it must be the Niacin. I don't know if I took too much and it just built up in my system but I will never take it again. Be cautious.....It is scary and not a pleasant thing to go through!

My insurance wouldn't cover Niaspan which was going to cost me a lot of money, so I asked my cardiologist for an alternative and he suggested trying Slo-Niacin. My numbers are still good so it turned out to work well for me and saved me a ton!!

I was diagnosed with 250 Cholesteral and my LDL was high, so rather than take the statin drugs, which affect liver and kidneys, I began with Slo Niacin. I eat well, no red meat for years, lots of vegetables, fruits, etc. and my Mother had very high Cholesterol so I knew it was Genetic. I bought this Niacin because of the slo release, so no flushing. It has been 1 week, my whole digestive system is a mess. I feel like I have irritable bowl syndrome. Gas, constipation, then diahhrea, and overall discomfort! I have stopped taking this product!!

I was taking Niaspan a prescription form of slow release Niacin to raise my HDL Cholesterol. Niaspan is very expensive so I decided to to try Slo Niacin. I will see how effective it is when I get my blood test in a few weeks. Slo Niacin does not seem to cause flushing after the first few times I have used it. Niaspan caused brief flushing. If Slo Niacin raises my HDL, which I expect it will, it is a real winner.
